    How dumb do you have to be...

    ... to keep a stash of softcore porn in your home folder on the company network?

    Apparently as dumb as one of the guys who works here, whose stash of such material we just found during housekeeping on one of the file servers.

    And no, I'm not posting samples in OaD before anyone asks!

    Spooky. A guy here has just been walked off site for using an HMRC spec test machine for browsing localsluts.com or some such.
    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

          When I was working at a certain national telecommunications company the problem was so rife they actually had warning posters and stickers in all the toilets in the smaller sites.

            Years ago when t'internet was young I was curious about internet porn never having seen any. Waited at ClientCo till most had gone home, did a lycos search and after hesitating and having a last look around clicked on the link. All the alarms in the building went off at exactly the same time, obviously a test. Don't think I ever jumped so high from a seated position.

                  Fool - you at least save them in an encrypted zip file!

                  When I was on work placement many years back, we had a holier-than-thou born-again Christian as the IT placement student (I was in marketing). I was responsible for designing, building, deploying the company internet site, and because it was so new, we had one PC connected to the internet and nothing else.

                  One day, I checked the recent documents on the machine and found that recently, someone had opened slut01.jpg, suck02.jpg, hotchick.jpg. And cleared the cache and history out.

                  I took great joy in tracing it to the other student. If he hadn't been so obnoxious with ramming his beliefs down everyone's throats, I'd have left it - at one stage he told one of his colleagues (who was Hindu) that she would "roast in hell for all eternity for her sins".
                  If you have to add a , it isn't funny. HTH. LOL.

                    Ha, blimey.

                    Apparantly, last year, another fella was walked offsite. He was caught having a tommy at his desk, early one morning, by a cleaner. Trousers round his ankles jobby.
